Rageaholic Monkey posted:12 Oz. Mouse was insane. I don't think my 15 year old brain was prepared to handle it, and I don't think my 25 year old brain is prepared to handle it either. It sure is great, though. I rewatched it early last year and it still holds up. I could never get any of my friends to watch the show because they thought I was trying to prank them into watching something terrible. 12 Oz. Mouse (and Xavier: Renegade Angel) were fantastic.

I might have to give 12 oz Mouse another shot. I tried watching it when it started and I didn't get it, so I hated it.

The way the trainees socializing in the cafeteria was like, the opposite of the oppressive depressing tone that I want in stories like that, I have no desire to watch a teen highschool drama "that's edgy because they're assassins".

That's only the first half of the first season that really has that, and things get considerably more interesting as the show goes on. Xander Berkeley is the most magnificent diabolical villain. YOU ARE MISSING OUT ON SOME PRIMO SCENERY-CHEWING. Nikita is more the main character than Alex, and the show is fundamentally different from the other properties because it shows Nikita after she got out of the organization, working to destroy it.

Yeah, it's just that in the two films, the organization comes off as really cold and diabolical, and the new series wasn't selling that, so the idea of Nikita's crusade against the CW's hitman highschool wasn't as engaging. I'm sure I'll give it another shot sometime.

Regarding Nikita, I would say, at least fo me, you have to go in with measured expectations. Nikita is no 24, it's a little bit on the lighter side tonally, and can be episodic. It did take me a while to get into. I kind of background watched it until it shifted to a more serial story arc. It's a pretty good show, once you really get into it. I can't recall the episode, (I think it was about halfway through the first season it had Nikita breaking out of chains) but it really started to click for me at that point. It's not on my personal list of great serial drama's, that would be stuff like 24, Sleeper Cell, The Shield, Spartacus, BSG, etc, but I still found it worth watching.

It's not assassin high school at all, but it's also not what you're looking for. It's more Alias before Alias got really stupid. Like Nikita would be dropping fools and quipping one-liners.

Shageletic posted:Seems interesting, but seems more suited to being a movie. EXACTLY what I said to myself. But as a movie it'd have to have a $30-50M budget, which theatrical studios are afraid of these days. So as a result, all these mid-scope cop dramas/thrillers that used to be a staple of the 80s and 90s (Blue Steel, Internal Affairs, Sea of Love, One Good Cop, etc) are moving to TV because the networks are willing to roll the dice on them. But the catch is, the story unfolds at a slower pace than it should. See also: Secrets and Lies (though not the best example since it was apparently based on an Australian series).

So I didn't like The Leftovers at all last year but the second season is loving incredible, while still being equally depressing and ballsy.

Yea I have no idea how the gently caress it is supposed to be their most expensive show. Camelot cost 70mil for 10 episodes. I don't even know how this could cost more than that

I'm sorry it's taken me this long to get around to NATHAN FOR YOU. The S2 premiere where the realtor casually mentions she was strangled by a ghost was amazing, you can see Fielder's eyes widen and just pounce on it.

Do people care about Blindspot here at all? I couldn't find a thread, but it got picked up for a second season already, and is the highest rated new series of the season.

But I still wish they were 100% committed to "Jane Doe is Taylor Shaw" and didn't have that bullshit tooth weirdness hanging over the whole thing. (Confused? You won't be if you catch up on this season of Blindspot!) (You might be a little bored, though.)

Blacklist and Blindspot are the only shows I'm following this season. I guess I like cheesy procedurals with overarching mysteries. I feel like Blacklist is having its best season so far. Maybe not the highest of praise, but it's finally hit as much of a groove as it ever will.

I agree that Blacklist is better than it's ever been. Having Lizand Reddington on the same page and happily working together is a welcome change and has brought a good energy to the show. I'm also enjoying Blindspot, though I think a big part of that is Jaimie Alexander's performance. She's killing it. The boss lady has one of the worst-disguised British accents I've ever heard, though.

Yeah i'm watching and enjoying Blindspot. The premise is completely ludicrous if you think about it for a few seconds but it works in the context of the show. It's been entertaining so far with a good mystery, bit of good action and some interesting character dynamics. I think the boss lady's accent might sound weird because she's actually attempting a New York accent rather than just a general American one.

That's good to hear because I love Joe Carnahan and it does my heart good to hear about him kicking rear end, either commercially or creatively. (I'm assuming he's still an EP, even if he's stepping back to work on Bad Boys 3.) My problem with it is more personal: the show's just too drat grim for me. But of course it couldn't be any other way (how else are you going to sell a list of The Worst People in the World?) so I never really held it against the show.
